Hot Diggity Dog!

Hi there and happy Friday!  Today I'm showcasing another sample from our Card Buffet display board featuring the Hot Diggity Dog set.  This set is just too cute!   Elizabeth Holloway posted this card that I had to CASE - with a few changes, making it my own.  She is very talented and has some awesome creations posted on her blog.  This card was very popular with our customers, so thank you Elizabeth!
Here is the open version.

Must run errands so have a great weekend and thank you for stopping in today!

Baseball Fever!

 

Hi there!  Today Mary Taylor and I have another Card Buffet so this will be a quick post.  Here is one of the cards from our Buffet line-up, which has been popular.  (St. Louisians love their baseball.)  My inspiration came from this card posted on Paper Ecstasy's blog.  She doesn't list her name anywhere on the blog - only her friend's name, who is a Demonstrator.  (If you find out her name, please let me know.)  The Night of Navy card base was cut from the Circle Thinlits Die.  A template was used to draw a line for the "stitching".  Are you thinking the Chevron punch was used for the "stitching"?  Nope!  They were cut from one of the dies included with the Circle Thinlits and are smaller than those from the Chevron punch. The rest of the card is pretty self-explanatory.  If you have any questions about anything, though, please feel free to contact me.

Must get going!  Thank you for visiting today!

The Graduate

Hi there!  A big THANK YOU goes out to everyone who attended our Card Buffet yesterday.  We had a good turnout, despite having to reschedule due to a medical emergency last week.  We have the best friends/customers!
I'll get right to one of the cards that appeared on our Buffet.  It's that time of year - graduation.  This simple card was made with the Pure Gumption set from Stampin' Up!, which will be retiring at the end of this month.  So if you want this set, you'd better order quickly!  The Silver Glimmer stars (cut from a die in the Circle Thinlits) added some sparkle. 
Must get started on some household chores.  Have a fabulous day and thank you for peeking in today!

A Big Kiss!

Hi there and happy Monday!  The weekend sure flew by.  Saturday we had our Card Buffet.  What fun we had!  The turnout was great despite the weather we've had.  Thank you ladies for such a wonderful time!  Sunday was spent with family.  We attended a welcome home party for our nephew who is home from basic training (Marines).  He sure did look handsome in his uniform!  It's amazing how much he has matured in that short amount of time, too.  Afterwards, our granddaughter spent the night with us.  She'll be getting up soon so let's get to the reason you stopped in today - the card.  My inspiration came from Selene Kempton's June 1, 2012 blog post (you can view her blog here).  This card was one of the samples for our Jan - Feb Card Buffet.  To make the "kiss" I glued some foil to a piece of cardstock, then punched out the large petal of the Blossom Punch (currently on the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack found here).  Just trim off the scalloped portion of the petal.  The sentiment on the banner is from Petite Pairs.  A little bit of Baker's Twine added some interest.  Below is a peek at the inside of the card.

A sentiment from Love You to the Moon set is used here, along with the XOXO from the Circle Thinlits die.  Oh, and the cardstock color is Chocolate Chip.  Of course!

Must get some other tasks completed before the little one wakes up.  Thanks for stopping in today!  It's always a pleasure to have you come by!

Bubbleicious

Hi there!  Hope you had a good weekend.  The temperatures are more in the normal range for this time of year.  I finally ventured out to the grocery store Friday afternoon after being cooped up for six days because of the snow and frigid temperatures.  The silver lining to this is that I spent some time in my studio.  The above belated birthday card (sent to our nephew) is one of the projects that was produced.  It was made with some new Stampin' Up! products and with the retired Big Top Designer Series Paper.  (Hello, my name is Judy and I'm a paper hoarder.  lol)  The Word Bubble dies are new in the 2014 Occasions catalog....and fun!  The coordinating stamp set, Just Sayin' doesn't have an "oops" so it was hand written. (Couldn't even computer generate since my printer died and haven't had a change to replace it yet.)
